@ermo @peachfiend This seems reasonably accurate and neutral. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Council_of_Jerusalem "The council did, however, retain the prohibitions on eating blood or meat containing blood, and meat of animals that were strangled, and on fornication and idolatry, " Jews regard that as the law given to Noah, who was a Gentile. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_Laws_of_Noah No Idolatry, cursing God, murder, adultery & sexual immorality, theft, eating flesh torn from a living animal & do have courts of justice.

@ermo @peachfiend Also photo of prayers in the Oval Office. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke%2018:9-14&version=NIV I'm sure the Pope has read the bible many times (I'm not a Catholic), but the folk in the Whitehouse have a strange reading of it. Search also OT & NT "the stranger in your midst". Edit: Just saw this: https://mastodon.ie/@newsguyusa@flipboard.social/116415088879571443
